WHAT  IS  INTEGRATIVE  PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Integrative Psychotherapy: a holistic approach

 

Each person is unique. Therefore, there is no single form of therapy that works for everyone. In integrative psychotherapy, different therapeutic approaches are woven together to meet each person’s individual needs. The aim is to see the person as a whole and to choose, at each moment, the path that best supports their process of growth.

This means that dialogue, mindfulness, and creative forms of expression can come into conversation with one another. Depending on the situation, I integrate elements of person-centred therapy, analytical psychology, mindfulness-based therapy, and art therapy. In this way, a space of connection to oneself can emerge, where words, sensations, and images intertwine and healing insights can unfold.

 

With sensitivity and presence

 

In my therapeutic work, I offer a space for deep listening, presence, and genuine human encounter. I believe that every person carries within them valuable inner resources and a strong potential for transformation. The role of therapy is to accompany this process with sensitivity, clarity, and respect for the individual rhythm of each person.

Within the therapeutic process, it becomes possible to explore emotions, understand behavioural patterns, expand self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of relating to oneself and to the world. Psychotherapy can reveal that times of crisis may also become doors to change and to a more authentic contact with one’s own self.

 

Some of the methods integrated into my therapeutic approach:

Person-Centred Therapy

Growth and transformation through empathic listening

 

One of the foundations of my work is person-centred therapy, developed by Carl Rogers. This approach is based on trust in the human capacity for growth and self-regulation. The therapeutic relationship is central: genuine empathy, authenticity, and unconditional acceptance create the fertile ground where deep and lasting change can take root.

Schema Therapy

Recognising and transforming emotional patterns from childhood

 

Schema therapy explores emotional and behavioural patterns that were formed in childhood and continue to influence adult life. It helps to identify unmet emotional needs, question strategies that are no longer useful, and develop more conscious and healthy ways of relating to oneself and others. It is particularly effective in transforming recurring patterns and strengthening self-esteem.

Analytical Psychology

A path toward self-encounter and inner wholeness

 

Analytical psychology, developed by C. G. Jung, views the human being as a multifaceted whole composed of both conscious and unconscious parts. It understands that inner images, dreams, and symbols express deeper layers of the psyche and offer valuable clues for personal growth. In this process, crises, recurring themes, or life transitions can become meaningful guides that help us understand ourselves more deeply and foster a renewed connection to our own essence and to life itself.

Art Therapy

When words are not enough, creativity becomes language

 

Art therapy is another essential form of expression in my practice. Through creative processes such as drawing, painting, or modelling, we give form to what often cannot be expressed in words. Art functions as both mirror and pathway, opening access to inner experiences and allowing new symbolic and intuitive meanings to emerge.

Mindfulness Practice

Arriving in the present moment

 

Mindfulness means being fully present in the moment, with openness and without judgment. In therapy, it helps to become more aware of the body, emotions, and thoughts, creating a space of calm and inner clarity. Through mindful presence, self-compassion can grow, and transformation can unfold naturally.
